Description
Low melt solder (for easy desoldering)
Low melt solder, often referred to as low-temperature or low-melting-point solder, is a specialized alloy designed to melt at significantly lower temperatures than standard solder. Typically composed of alloys such as Indium-Tin (In-Sn) or Bismuth-Tin (Bi-Sn), it can melt at temperatures as low as 50-150°C, depending on its exact composition. This makes it especially useful in desoldering applications, where it helps to safely remove components without risking thermal damage to the circuit board or nearby components.
Applications:
- Component Desoldering: Allows easy removal of components on delicate PCBs by reducing the need for high heat, protecting sensitive components and substrates.
- BGA/SMT Rework: Effective in reworking Ball Grid Array (BGA) and Surface Mount Technology (SMT) components by creating a temporary low-melt layer between the component and the board, facilitating easier lift-off.
Advantages:
- Reduced Heat Exposure: Minimizes the risk of damaging nearby components or PCB layers.
- Fast Melting and Removal: Speeds up desoldering tasks, making it ideal for quick repairs or modifications.
- Ideal for Heat-Sensitive Electronics: Suitable for working with complex or multi-layer boards and high-density assemblies.
